So steal someone else's idea, keep the chain going :P

Yeah, are you still hacking? :D

Hey, here's a face I haven't talked to in a while :P

But...but tiles :(
You spent so long trying to figure that **** out, might as well add something.

Well, yeah I'm referring to myself rather than you with that statement. I still find a little satisfaction looking at newbies making hacks, feels a little nostalgic :)

Yeah, me too. I've been busy for a few years :P
Whenever I have free time I always just spend it doing other things. Maybe it's time to move on, huh?

Sounds good, hopefully you'll be able to produce some quality hacks now :P

Yeah, definitely sounds like you're running a wrong version/missing files. Re-check everything, I'm 100% sure at this point. Also Windows 7 is much friendlier imo.

I'm pretty sure it's that you're missing some files, when you put in those files probably even A-map would work for you.

Yeah, I have no clue. Try to talk to NSE's author, maybe he can provide some insight to your problem.

Sounds like you're running some un-updated stuff. Normally, there's a list of software that's required to run a program that the tool creators list in their threads. Make sure you have all of it installed properly.

Yeah, inserting tiles can be a real hassle. I would say that having tiles in a hack is definitely worth the effort though.

Out of interest, what are you trying to insert?

Maybe there is a video tutorial on youtube that you can follow. Most of the tutorials on youtube are pretty ******** though, so try to avoid the bad ones!

Yes and no. For example, if you take the tile you want to insert and break it into 16x16 smaller images (like puzzle pieces!) then you remove the pieces that are the same. In the end (in most cases) you're left with an image that's roughly 1/2 the size of what you originally had. So in a sense they are the tiles you will be using to implement into the game :P

No problem. setmaptile is pretty useful.

Thanks for fixing my script btw!

Err, basically those 8x8 pieces of the tiles that are used repeatedly. Some people tend to break it into 16x16 (I think most spanish hacks do this for their graphics).

lol, that's how almost everyone else does it. Alternatively you can first remove repeat tiles, saves space and time when recoloring (sadly it makes the block making process much harder).

No, no, you do export the picture. The color palette is restricted to being a multiple of 8 if I'm recalling correctly, that is why you need to recolor the tiles before inserting them ;)
